One
of
the
3
best
practices
I
observed
during
my
time
in
school
is
when
the
teacher
gave
the
students
literacy
class
and
made
the
map
and
step
and
read
it
to
the
students,
the
map
and
step
is
about
the
story
they
have
taken
and
the
teacher
made
it
on
a
poster
where
some
words
were
drawn
and
some
were
written,
the
map
and
step
helps
the
students
to
recognize
better
and
to
be
independent
when
trying
to
remember
each
picture
what
it
describes,
this
method
will
be
good
to
be
implemented
in
a
UAE
primary
classroom
because
instead
of
just
reading
the
story
over
and
over
from
the
book
and
will
also
help
the
children
to
write
vocabulary
independently.
The
second
best
practice
was
when
I
observed
my
MST
during
the
library
lesson
when
she
used
to
sit
on
the
table
and
let
each
student
choose
a
book
from
their
own
choice
and
then
show
it
to
her
to
decide
whether
it
is
suitable
for
them
to
read
or
not,
some
students
are
in
a
high
level
ability
and
can
read
big
books
by
themselves,
so
when
a
teacher
accepts
for
them
to
read
such
books
it
increases
their
level
of
confidence,
and
for
the
other
students,
if
a
book
was
not
acceptable
for
them
because
it
is
higher
than
their
ability,
the
teacher
tells
them
to
read
the
first
page
at
least
in
front
of
her
and
then
tells
them
to
change
it,
by
doing
this,
the
student
will
not
feel
that
he/she
can
not
read,
it
will
make
them
feel
like
changing
to
another
better
book.
